GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Operatlons O the Inter.1atn I,u

The Weekly Trade Review OF R. G. Dun &
Co., OF New York, says; great revolution
IN business is going on, with radically con.
dieting accounts OF serious losses at some
localities ami in some branches, and Of
wonderful gains at other places or in other
departments OF trade and industry. The
Interstate act and the expansion OF the
volume and change in the kind
OF currency are among the caus-
ss OF this commercial revolution. The
Interstate act clearly helps some who bit
terly opposed it, and as clearly injures
others who expected great benefits from
its operation, thus the river business OF
the West is expanding under the influence
Of the law, and the railroads are at the
same time getting larger earnings from the
part OF the traffic they retain, while not
few cities find, rs Cincinnati does, that
trade in many lines is greatly embarrass-
ed.
The lumber trade shows an increase OF
demand with scarcity in some lines. The

The Irishman,s Basket.

When General Lee returned to Rich
mond, after he had surrendered his
army at Appomattox Court House.
he passed through crowded streets
where Union veterans pressed aside
Confederate soldiers, that they might
catch glimpse Of the general against
whom they had fought. One morning
an Irishman, who had served through
the war as Union soldier, appeared
at the door OF General Lees residence
with a basket filed with provision.
He rang the bell, and requested to see
the General.
The servant, saying that General
Lee was engaged, offered to carry q
message TO him. But Pat would not
be put of, and, in loud tones, insisted
upon seeing the General himself, who,
hearing the alteration, came from
an adjoining room.
"Sure, sir, you're a great soldier,
and it's naeself that knows itln ex--
claimed Pat, giving the military
salute, while his bronzed face beamed
it's admiration. We've fought you
all these years, and many a hard
knock you've given us, but that's al
past. They tell me, gintral, yer poor,
and I've brought ye this basket, and
maybe ye'd take it from an ould

some poor fellow glad to be romem-

General Lee was greatly affected by
the Irishman's kind offer, for he him
self was magnanimous.
On the last dsy Of the battle OF
Gettysburg, an earnest Union soldier
was left on the field with a shattered
leg. The Confederates had begun
their retreat, and General Lee and his
staff rode near where the wounded
Federal was living. The man, though
weak from loss Of blood, raised his
hands, looked Lee full in the face, and
shouted, "Hurrah for the Union"

Tyndall Assails Gladstone.

Prof Tyndall is out in another savage
criticism OF the course OF Gladstone and
the GladstOnian party, in which he pro.
pounds several conundrums, furnishing
the answers thereto.
In how many instances" he asks,
have the honest individual opinions and
convictions OF the followers OF Gladstone
been perverted by their leader? In now
many cases has this prince OF sophists dis
lodged truth by untruth and diverted
Straightiorwardness by double dealing?
His satellites deserve the contempt of
every honest man. Popery never exhibit
ed subserviency as ignoble or prostration
of manhood more complete than is shown
by the Liberal Home Rulers who belle
their whole lives at the bidding OF Mr.
Gladstone in becoming apostate to all the
traditions OF Liberalism. Mr.. Gladstone
is traitor to his country and the mis-.
leader OF his friends. He defends Mr.
Pa1nell, but he needs screening more than
does Parnell, and is rightly likened by the
most robust and scientific Liberals in
England as a prohigate demagogue who is
leading his Countrymen to a sanguinary
future"
Prof. Tyndall in conclusion entreats the
Liberal Unionists to brace themselves for
a long struggle as the evil that Mr.. Glad
stone has already wrought will live long
after him.

A COMING ARTISTIC EVENT.

Everyone in Honolulu who is in
terested in art, literature, history
and travel, will be glad to learn that
the Y. M. c. A. has engaged Pro-
fessor Sidney Dickinson, nj. A., OF
Boston, who is in the kingdom for a
few weeks, to deliver, under its
auspices his brilliant course Of Illus
trated lectures on "The Treasure
Houses of European Art" on the
evenings of May 23, &c, 80 and
June End.
Prof. Dickinson, who comes here
with the strongest endorsement Of
the Eastern and San Francisco
press, and of Amherst, Brown, Yale,
Trinity, Boudoin, Williams, Welles-
ley and other leading colleges, is
graduate and Master of Arts from
Amherst College, and the most sue
cessful lecturer on art that has ever
appeared in the United States. His
plan includes the great records of
art in painting, sculpture and archi-
lecture, that are found in France,
Belgium, Holland, Russia, Spain
and Italy, illustrated by splendid
views, both plain and colored, pre-
pared expressly for him in London
and Paris, shown by his own power

IMPERATIVE NECESSITY.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I noticed in
last Tuesdays issue, an article on
Kapiolani street. Now being inter-
ested in that road, l think it my
duty to substantiate that statement,
and would say that the writer has
drawn it very mildly. The road
could not possibly be in a worse
condition, and is certainly danger
Gus to man and beast; water pipes
have been laid along Kapiolanl
street, which project about 5 inches
above the ground, leaving deep ruts
on both sides, and at night if one
chances to get up to Lunalilo street,
without having a wheel taken off, it
is a miracle. Now as the material
for road making is near at hand, it
would cost but very little to repair
it, and would probably prevent
fatal accident. Hoping you will
give this room in your valuable
paper. A RESIDENT.

DON'T FOOL WITH YOURSELF.

The functions of the body are to
take nutrition and throw off cor
responding amount of waste or i'm
pure material. The nervous system
controls all this. When the strength
of the nerves is lessened in the
Spring, by losing the bracing air Of
the Winter, or by excuses, over
stimulation or overwork, the Spring
stimulative drug is usually set to
work to irritate, or drive the weak
ened nerves to complete this func-
ton, or as is popularity known,
purify the blood. Everybody knows
this process is always attended by a
reaction, leaving them weaker than
before, as is eXempliiied by physic in
constipation. The Moxie Nerve
Food obivates this, and the nerves
are strengthened by harmless
nutrition instead, and you are made
vigorous and strong permanently,
without danger or reaction or harm.
This is the whole matter in q nut
shell.

NO ONE is TAXED,

The Ell Dorado of taxpayer is the
large village of Langenselbold, in
the district of Hanau. 1t has a
population of about 5000 souls and
a communal property of upward of
S3,0O0,000, the annual income of
which is about 500, 900, nearly one
third of which revenue is derived
from the rent of meadow land. The
communal forests require the SER
vices of four foresters. The vii
lagos are not only fortunate enough
to be entirely free from communal
taxes, but they actually receive each
year two cords of firewood and 20
marks of money. The gooseherd
would scarcely swap places with
many a village "dominie," for his
income is fully 1000 marks. The
streets of the village are lighted free
of cost, and when one of the vii
layers closes his earthly career he
or she is taken to the last resting
place "free gratis for nothing" In
order, however, to check immigra-
ton into this new Canaan, the wise
fathers of the commune have fixed
the cost of acquiring the citizenship
of the place at 500 marks N. Y.

THE SUGAR PRODUCTION OF the
WORLD.

The Washington Department of
Agriculture says, regarding the sugar
production of the world during 1886:
"The production of cane sugar has
been carried on in the West Indies,
Brazil, East Indies, and other coun-
tries, largely by slave labor, with
clumsy machinery and wasteful pro-
cesses. 1t has not been the result of
very advanced mechanisms or science,
though there has been progress and
improvement. 1t is claimed that little
more than half the sugar is extracted
i'll the Louisiana manufacture. There
is room for vast improvement. even
in this country, and should cheaper
the cost of the product and give
adequate profit to the business.
"Of the commercially reported
sugar of the world half is now made
in Europe, where, at the beginning of
the century, its experimental cost
was, perhaps, not less than II dollar
per pound, and scarcely known ex-
cept in the laboratories of chemists.
BY indomitable perseverance, with
the aid of bounties by the Govern
ments, the sugar of beets has nearly
driven to the wall the cane product
by low-priced and comparatively un-
productive labor, reducing to an I'M
precedented figure the price, and
revolutionizing commerce in sugar.
"Our consumption of sugar is
enormous and rapidly increasing,
amounting to about one-fourth of all
the sugar reported from the countries
of principal production, according to
the table of NJ. LIGHT, the European
authority on this subject. Our con-
sumption in 1885 is reported at
1,245,574 tons, mostly cane sugar,
but SO, l25 tons of it was beet sugar
from Europe. 1t is a serious reflec-
ton on American enterprise that this
industry should remain in a anguish
ing condition, unable to compete with
foreign effort in this line, at the very
moment when Europe is loud in out
cry against the disastrous effect of
American competition in the pro-
ducts of agriculture. Within twenty
five years more than 100000 tons
will be required-almost sufficient to
swallow up the present production of
beet sugar or the whole of the present
cane sugar OF commerce. At u time
when labor is in excess of the de-
mand, and corn and cotton and wheat
and other staples of primitive agri-
culture exceeds the wants of domes-
tic and foreign markets, we scour the
world for food products, costing more
than $2OO,OOO,OO0 per annum, the
larger portion of which should be
produced in the United States. This
primitive and unenterprising situa-
ton must be surmounted by more
skillful, scientific and inventive agri-
culture"

THREE GREAT FAMILIES.
SOCIAL INFLUENCE OF THE NEW YORK
vANDERBILTs, POTTERs AND
FIELDS.

l accidentally encountered $780,
100000 in a small jewelry store on
Fifth avenue a few days ago. 1t was
more than $2O0,O00,O00, now that 1
think of it, for there were three men
in the group; the oldest was Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, who was pale,
clerical and solemn looking, with
pleasant expression of the eye, and
tendency to lean against posts and
show cases. Beside him stood his
brother, William X. Vanderbilt, in
the most irreproachable of English
clothes, with his mutton-chop whis-
kers brushed back from n weak, but
good-natured face. Between the two
men chatting amiably with them
was DR.. Seaward Webb, their brother
in-law. DR.. Webb is the most popu-
lar of the men who have married
into this family. The three men
represented vast amount of money,
and they all entered the shop to-
gether to spend exactly twenty-five
cents for a new crystal for Cornelius
watch.
What struck me at the time as
being most notable was the influence
which a great New York family, like
the the Vanderbilts, possess. Take
DR.. Seward Webb, for instance; he
was a surgeon in ST. Luke's Hospital
when old Mrs. Vanderbilt took her
daughter there one day on visit of
charity to the sick. The daughter
fell in love with the young surgeon,
married him, and, on the death of
William H., DIR. Webb inherited $780,
OOO, 600 and an interest in the main
portion of the estate. He became
president of one of the largest down
town stock firms, was made director
in the wealthiest trust company in
the country, and became identified
at once with the Lincoln Bank and
other great institutions. Now he
wanders about, the friend of million
aires, the most welcome of visitors to
the boxes in the Opera House, and a
pleasant and agreeable man about
town. He is thick-set, heavy faced
and not at all distinguished in ap.
pearance, but evidently very good
fellow.
Another of the great families in
New York is just now being talked
about through the death of its head,
Bishop Potter. The Potter family
must feel rather lonely now that it
has only one Bishop left in its ranks
Its first Bishop was AlonzO Potter
of Pennsylvania. He was the father
of the late Clarkson Potter, Howard
Potter, the banker, and Eliphalet
Potter, the president of Hobart Col
lege. Howard Potter is the father
of James Brown Potter, whose wife i,
studying for the stage.
The second Bishop was Bishor
Horatio Potter, of the diocese of New
York, who died recently at the adj
vanced age OF eighty-five years. II,
leaves two daughters and one son
who is II professor in Southern
university. A third Bishop is Henri,
Goldman Potter, also son of Bishop
Alonzo Potter, and lately the assist
ant Bishop of the diocese of New
York. The chances are that Presi
dent Potter will be Bishop before h
dies. He is the handsomest membe
OF the family, has distinguished
presence and is an eloquent speaker

TCoMMUNIcATED.]

In some Of the suburbs there are
imperfect attempts ut sidewalks.
Such as they are they are OF some
use to pedestrians. Notably this is
the case OH Punahou Avenue, where
a bus is often awaiting passengers
at the foot OF the street. 1t is n
we'll known fact, however, that the
boys of that school make free use of
these sidewalks in muddy weather
for horseback riding. 1t strikes me
that boy so dainty as to need the
sidewalk for horseback travel, there
by spelling it for ladies' convent
ence, will not make very much of a
man. Let us have little civilized
manhood where there are any pre-
tensions to it.
